Description
### Checks
- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
- [x] I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.
- [ ] I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.
### Problem Description
If you toggle the search window (Main Window) while having a preview-able result selected and using external previews, the external preview doesn't reappear with the search window.
Instead it falls back to an internal preview
### To Reproduce
1. Setup External previews (install quicklook app and plugin) and turn on always preview
2. select preview-able result (quicklook should show up)
3. close and reopen search window

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using an external preview with the QuickLook app and plugin enabled, then toggle the Flow Launcher search window while a previewable result is selected. Trace the external-preview and main-window toggle flow; done means reopening the search window restores the external preview instead of falling back to an internal preview.
